Above is only one source, but I have not found one anywhere that says the mediation is part of the record. In fact, many mediators destroy their notes after concluding a case. Part of me wishes that EH and MR could really hear each other, but I have diminished hope on that. I do find it interesting that MR still thinks it would be a helpful thing to do. But maybe that's because he has never felt heard or even been given the chance to respond in a rational way without being interrupted and accused.
Can you please provide a link to proof that most mediators destroy their notes after concluding a case.
I doubt that mediators would destroy case notes, its more likely IMO that they would keep their records for quite a number of years, like any other professional.
bbm I recall Elaine doing those very things on Dr P - seriously, MR barely got to finish an answer throughout the entire time he was onstage with Elaine, and most of what he uttered was in response to Elaine's repeated accusations. Again, it is extraordinary how we all perceive things differently.
I said this earlier, but a trained mediator would not allow this to happen. Dr P did not in any way act as a mediator. Parties are spoken to privately when necessary, and together when possible - the mediator acts as a facilitator and intermediary when necessary. A trained mediator would avoid confrontation at all costs, and not even allow a whiff of it during a session. IMO Dr. P was an extension of the fb pages which have the intention of "calling out", accusing, interrogating, and pressuring MR into a desired response.
So this is in no way the purpose of mediation - ie to get an admission of guilt. I could see the value of mediation if it allowed MR to relate the events of his and Dylan's activities without interruption, or with genuine non-accusatory questions asked (though it's probably too late for that now). Having a reasonable conversation about their shared missing child should be possible. I have never seen the point of one parent continuing to negate or cast doubt on the veracity of every single thing the other claims to be true when they are no longer living together.
The context and tone of what each said needs to be considered, was it in relation to Dylans disappearance or not. If not what was the point of it, ie MRs snide comment calling EH 'Mrs Redwine and saying he used to know her', the way it was said was to intimidate EH. When he did his interview with MB he made a comment about EH 'hiding where she worked', IMO that came across as intimidation and veiled threat.
Its important to remember that the aired show was the result of much editing, therefore assuming that MR was cut off isn't wise, unless of course you were in the live audience. Our own verified insider was at the taping of the show, maybe she could tell us if he was cut off.
IIRC Dr Phil did speak with MR privately more than once
Dr Phil isn't a mediator he is a clinical psychologist who is a talk show host.
AS you said it is extraordinary how we all perceive things differently.
IMO Dr Phil and Jack Trimarco read MR very well
